The Ostrich

I already refreshed the batteries, them dying was the first thought I got. Didn't do the trick, though. For the rest I'm pretty sure it's not the physical state of the mouse. I use the right-mouse button a lot in some 3D software (both click and hold) and the problem is non-existant here. The mouse's not all that old either (<1year, Logitech). I'll try the other things mentioned, though

@Aggelakis
Yes, it is. I've had it ever since I started playing, though.

@Kitsune Knight
Rookie mistake, my bad. Added the reports.

Hello folks,
I returned from a break a couple of days ago and encountered a rather bothersome issue: Looking around free-view with the right mouse button often doesn't properly 'catch on'. The one moment it will not respond at all, the other moment only along one axis.

Windowed mode or full-screen doesn't make much of a difference in functionality. One thing is remarkable: When it starts getting finnicky in windowed mode, it will actually regularly activate the drop-down menu of my actual desktop, resulting in icons dragged around or random new shortcuts. It's like the client is never properly in the 'foreground' when active.
The problem isn't there all the time, sometimes it'll be alright for an hour before it kicks in and sometimes it fixes itself, whilst nothing else seemingly changed.

I've tried looking into processes that shouldn't be there as well as disabling my antivirus, but with no success. OS used is Windows 7.

Does anyone have a clue on what could be causing this thing?
